Patient's question:
My child is only six years old this year, but has already been carefully diagnosed with leukemia. The doctor said that bone marrow transplantation needs to be carried out immediately, but I don't quite understand the steps of bone marrow transplantation. So I want to ask, how is bone marrow transplantation carried out?Doctor's answer:
Currently, for leukemia patients, the best treatment option is to adopt bone marrow transplantation as soon as possible. First, it is necessary to find a suitable bone marrow match. Then, based on the child's physical condition, proceed with the conditioning treatment, which means clearing out all the cells in the body gradually before bone marrow transplantation. After that, the appropriate bone marrow stem cells are transplanted into the baby's bone marrow, allowing these cells to begin the healing process. There is a recovery period after the transplantation.
